Bamboo handicraft production of the Phu Tai has been passed down from generation to generation and the production is for domestic consumption and for sale. Incomes from sales has depended on the quantity of the products and labor used. For instance, bags with Khit design would bring more income than other products because they are more difficult and take more time to produce. Economically, the production brings in supplementary income after the rice planting season, reduces family debts, and prevents seasonal economic migration of community members. Therefore, the higher incomes improve their quality of life and provide more educational opportunities for their children. Socially, the villagers have a higher social and economic status, creating unity, participating in community development, and making life and property safer. Furthermore, family and kin relationships improve because everyone takes part in the production process, strengthening their family ties. The production does not bring about negative environmental impacts because bamboo is biodegradable and available locally. Nevertheless, the production can have negative health effects, causing eye fatigue and physical pains.
